I have serveral wireless routers that I would like to add to an existing ethernet network to allow wireless connection with our building. I know access points would do the job but I am trying to set this up for a non-profit school and the wireless routers were dontated.
I am trying to have the wireless routers plug into my existing network and then allow laptop’s, visitors access to the internet. I am struggling with some of the configuration settings and whether tapping into my existing dhcp on the Windows 2003 server is the right way to go or letting the router “dish-out” a pre-set number of ip’s.
Do I let my router obtain a ip automatically or do I set it with a internal static one? will the router then give others ip’s from my dhcp on the server or should I set it up to be dhcp for a specific range (within my exising network).
Thanks for any suggestions on how to make this happen.
